First, Lee Gwang-su had ‘Lee Bang-ja’s Nine Royal Verses’ published in both Japanese and Korean languages. Through the original Japanese version, he aimed to spread Japanese language across the country. In addition, the Korean version targeted to make Koreans turn into the people of the Japanese empire (so-called ‘Hwangguk Sinminhwa’). Second, Lee Bang-ja expressed his opinion on the Pacific War and conscription system in ‘Lee Bang-ja’s Nine Royal Verses,’ and Lee Gwang-su quite agreed with it. After all, these circumstances made Lee Gwang-su translate Lee Bang-ja’s wakas into Korean. Furthermore, Lee Gwang-su adhered to the five-seven-five-seven-seven pattern of waka in translating the Japanese verses into Korean based on the following reasons: First, Lee Gwang-su was so internalized and absorbed into the rhythm enough to write his own waka. Second, he had so much love and respect for the wakas of Lee Bang-ja, the last crown princess of Korea.

This study is to research an aspect of the modern women’s culture through the first Japanese women’s literary magazine, 『Seito』. To be more specific, it scrutinizes how Japanese women in the modern society accepted the western culture. From this perspective the study pays attention to that translated writings in 『Seito』 actually represent what the women pursued and aimed to achieve through literature. Therefore, this study thoroughly reviews why the『Seito』 members selected specific writings out of so many foreign literary works. It confirms that many of the writings translated in 『Seito』 were selected due to issues of women in them.『Seito』 issued supplements about the modern theater in order for in-depth research on them as the members thought the plays depicted issues of women. 『Seito』 discussed the protagonists of the modern plays to study enlightened female characters and embody their own character of the modern woman. When people talk about 『Seitō』, it is often mentioned “Five color drink” and “Yoshiwaradeungru” incidents. This study views that the incidents indicate the effect of western culture on women’s sphere and acceptance of the modern idea of equality. Women’s magazines suggest the feminine ideal or woman’s roles of the era. Therefore, the research over women’s magazines like 『Seitō』 can be effective in studying how the modern Japanese women’s culture changed, emerged, and grew as a new culture.
